"Since opening in the home of a former clockmaker in 2008, L’Escargot Bleu has fitted in nicely among trendy coffee shops, independent booksellers and award-winning butchers. Step through the bright blue door, and you’re met with vintage posters of Edith Piaf and full-sized French liquor ads. Blackboards adorn the walls, scrawled with the day’s specials, which vary from traditional French classics to more surprising dishes from Berkmiller’s childhood."

"La Garrigue – Creme Brûlée flavored with lavender|© Caitriana Nicholson/Flickr. No one does ‘romantic’ better than the French. Take a leaf out of those with the language of love and make way for La Garrigue, a personable little bistro."

"The Water of Leith is a great bistro style cafe which has gained a huge local following and become one of the most popular eateries in the Cannonmills area. The cafe has a relaxed and extremely welcoming ambiance and the French style food is both delectable and reasonably priced. Great Cullen Skink sits happily alongside French classics such as Croque Madame and the specials board is always brimming with tempting treats."

Loudons runs two cafes in Edinburgh – the original on Fountainbridge, and a new spacious location at New Waverley, a development project with living space, hotels, shops and restaurants just off the Royal Mile."

"In this Old Town cafe, you will find everything you need for a good brunch without spending too much. Do not expect to find a place with hyper-sophisticated decoration, but very good quality products and great staff. In addition, they have excellent options both vegan and vegetarian, as well as gluten-free."

"A post shared by Chris (@chris__macpherson) on Oct 1, 2018 at 2:33pm PDT.

It’s well-known for being Scotland’s one of the best food establishments serving an array of vegetarian, healthy snacks, hot and cold drinks, and meals."

"A post shared by Harmonium Bar & Kitchen (@harmoniumbar) on May 3, 2019 at 9:12am PDT. Amanda Brown’s vision of providing Edinburgh with a cafe offering healthful, plant-based, organic and delicious breakfasts and lunches became a reality on the opening of Pumpkin Brown. With all of their offerings being completely free of refined sugar, dairy and gluten, nutrition is the main focus, but definitely not at the expense of taste; Amanda has successfully combined her passions for food that is nutritious with food that is delicious."

"Edinburgh is home to fantastic 100% plant-based dishes, unique and tasty. From delicious vegan Mac & Cheese to baked goods. Union of Genius (Best soups in town)"

"Pumpkin Brown is a 100 per cent vegan café in the Grassmarket serving everything from salads to hot dishes. Oh, and it’s dog-friendly, too."

"This cosy café in Edinburgh’s Southside boasts a wealth of vegan-friendly hot drinks and treats. In fact, most of the menu is vegan, apart from the odd bake here and there, and they do still offer cow’s milk as an option for your tea or coffee. Walk in the door and you will be greeted with a huge display of vegan cakes such as fudge cake, apple tarts, cinnamon rolls, bakewell bakes and much more."

"Bentoya is a cozy little restaurant near the Grassmarket, and it’s a great spot for fresh, quality sushi at a reasonable price. I’d recommend the spicy salt & pepper squid and the volcano roll, which is beautifully presented, and topped with dried shredded chili. The sashimi is also excellent, and has a creamy melt-in-your-mouth texture."

"Offering Japanese food with Chinese, Korean and also some Scottish influences. They have most amazing selection of Bento boxes, with wonderful flavour combinations. The menu is extensive and good value for money."

"A few of my favourite dishes at Yes Sushi are the prawn dumplings, salmon skin roll, and their hot pot -which is reason enough to visit. Choose your broth, noodles, veggies, seafood, and meat (all of which are served uncooked), drop them into the boiling pot, and watch them cook in front of you. It’s £17.99 per person, and also includes all-you-can-eat sushi (from a limited menu), which is a bargain in Edinburgh."

"Notoriously expensive sushi is made more affordable at Hanover Street’s Yes Sushi, thanks to their bento box options. The perfect size for one, each box costs around £10 and contain enough delicious Japanese delights to fill you up. Each box is different, so diners can choose a few favourites from the likes of teriyaki tofu, tempura prawns, maki rolls, fresh sashimi and nigiri."

Always buzzing with happy customers, this lively joint in Edinburgh’s New Town is famous for its comforting hot pots and for its all you can eat sushi buffet. When enjoying the all you can eat buffet, you can choose either sushi by itself, or a sushi and hotpot combo for a little extra."
